Based in Togher, Cork, the depot is the first to open outside of Dublin, totalling seven trade outlets in Ireland, and will be supported by the UK infrastructure and digital platform.

Speaking about the depot launch, country manager of Howdens Mark Campbell said: “We have ambition to open over 50 depots across Ireland, and this first depot outside of Dublin is an important part of our expansion within Ireland.

“There is an exceptional amount of interest and excitement from the trade, with builders and fitters already having set up accounts ready to trade as soon as we open our doors.

“What makes our business model so successful is the powerful combination of locally empowered depot management, and a dedicated supply chain that can deliver our Irish customers an always in-stock offer.”

Founded in 1995 with just 14 depots, Howdens now has over 800 depots, and has delivered over six million fitted kitchens to the UK market.
